Description

This creamy, tangy whipped feta dip is balanced with sweet honey and a touch of garlic and basil, garnished with crunchy pistachios and fresh chives. A perfect appetizer or party snack that combines savory and sweet flavors in every bite.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 oz feta cheese
  • 4 oz cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon minced garlic
  • ½ teaspoon dried basil
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon chopped pistachios
  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped chives
  • ½ teaspoon cracked black pepper

Instructions

  • Blend the Cheeses: In a food processor, combine the feta cheese, cream cheese, and olive oil. Blend until smooth and well-combined.
  • Add Flavorings: Add the minced garlic and dried basil. Blend again until fully incorporated.
  • Serve: Scoop the whipped feta mixture onto a small plate or shallow bowl. Use the back of a spoon to create a well in the center.
  • Add Honey and Garnish: Pour the honey into the well. Sprinkle chopped pistachios, chives, and cracked black pepper around the edges.
  • Enjoy: Serve immediately with warm pita bread, crackers, or fresh vegetables.

Notes

  • You can use fresh basil instead of dried basil for a fresher flavor.
  • If you like it spicier, add red pepper flakes or hot sauce to the dip.
  • Serve with warm pita bread, crackers, or fresh vegetable sticks for dipping.
